      This is me except its not skill checks. Skill checks I rock. Combat rolls though? Almost always 4, if I'm unlucky its 2 or 3 but never 1. I built a skill monkey that buffs people and was okay at combat and then never hit a person for over a year. Then I hit someone and froze confused, I checked the number I rolled to hit(this is a computer program so it just gave the total) 4.....I had gained enough pluses to hit that 4 now could hit enemies and so I was allowed to hit enemies now. (It only took being a skald with rage song, a +4 weapon weapon that gains more bonuses while raging, a bard cohort, and being Mythic but now I could FIGHT.)

    In some Asian cultures, the number 4 is reputed to be an omen of death. This will either end with 4 as a winning lottery number, or no money being won at all. (My guess is the lottery ticket won't actually win him any money.)

    • @magnus0017
      @magnus0017 Před rokem +18

      I don't know about others, but this is true in Japan, as one way of pronouncing 4 (shi) is the same pronunciation as the kanji for death.
      though that's also the place where getting pooped on by a bird can be a sign of good luck, because the word "fun" (pronounced "foon") can be written with the kanji for poop and for luck, I believe. I don't think anyone is actually happy about that, but it is something people say from time to time.

    I kid you not but I had a friend who rolled 4 on a d20 15 times in a row during one of our session, it was during a boss battle so he kept missing but it was after about the 8th roll we noticed how much he had rolled a 4, we stopped the battle and told him to keep rolling and proceeded to get 7 more in a row. The chance of him doing this is 3.2768e+19 to 1!!! That number is over 3 sextillion! It was absolutely crazy when we watched it happen

    I have a challenge for you. Roll all 6 at the same time and get the highest number on each dice (or the same number 1 - 4) in 1 go... I have no idea if that would be harder or easier than what you did here but it would be pretty sweet to see.

    I have never seen a man so excited to roll a 4 on a D20. lol

    Nice, now slay the Balrog of moria in one hit, while screaming "run you fools, run". All you need for that is over 600 on a d100. Crits 99 and 100 for exploding dice. Oh yeah and afterwards basically another crit for a especially nasty one from the crit table which reads "Instant death". Good times. ;-)

    you should totally do a video where the its the first rolls of the dice need to be the highest on each die. like new dice, each must be the highest

    Wouldn't it have been more efficient to roll the D20 first and go in descending order of sides so that each successful roll has a greater chance of leading to the next roll being successful instead of greater odds?
    Or would they be equal in the number of total dice rolls? The way he did it has more success in the early rolls but less chances of success in later rolls.
    I don't have access to my computer right now to work out a simulation program to check. I also haven't written any kind of software in twenty years but it couldn't be difficult to work out which model takes the least amount of time but simulating the number of rolls with both systems and the averaging the resultant number of dice rolls over multiple runs.

    Rolling all those 4s in the livestream and then the 4 at the end of the video is 1 in 184,120,000 odds.

    I tried to get the challenge done all through a Curse of Strahd campaign I plated in... I got to the d20 a total of 3 times.
    Beating it in 3 hours is just insane.
